Spring on Aonach Mor

While the climbing may not be great here, the ski touring is fantastic with the snowpack softening during the day. Plenty of adventures still to be had!

Still lots of snow higher up

View up the Ben. Note the water blowing up hill from the lower rock band. Also there is some fresh debris out of the bottom of Observatory Gully, most likely cornice collapse

The thaw goes on.

After a slightly colder day yesterday, it was back to mild and damp today. Some pictures form Ben Nevis

Mild and Wet

 Over 7 degrees at 850 metres. 

Mild temperatures and rain through the day meant the snow was rapidly changing to water and flowing off down to the loch. 

However, there is plenty of snow remaining. If the weather would settle down then there would still be some nice spring skiing. 

Big Cracks!

Large  cracks continuing to appear round many corrie rims

There is a lot of Cornice waiting to fall off here!
